PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2005 August 2005 Murano
PRECAUTIONS PFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER” ABS004RH
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used alongwith a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certaintypes of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRSsystem uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one frontair bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-ual.WARNING:● To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
● Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and AirBag Module, see the SRS section.
● Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in thisService Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses orharness connectors.
Precautions for Liquid Gasket ABS004RI
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING● After removing mounting bolts and nuts, separate the mating
surface using the seal cutter [SST] and remove old liquid gasketsealing. CAUTION:Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
● Tap seal cutter to insert it, and then slide it by tapping on theside as shown in the figure.
● In areas where seal cutter is difficult to use, use a plastic ham-mer to lightly tap the parts, to remove it.CAUTION:If for some unavoidable reason tool such as a screwdriveris used, be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE1. Using a scraper, remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liquid
gasket application surface and the mating surface.● Remove liquid gasket completely from the groove of the liquid
gasket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt holes.2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating sur-
face with white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to removeadhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.

3. Attach liquid gasket tube to the tube presser [SST: WS39930000( — )].Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer toGI-47, "RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCTS ANDSEALANTS" .
4. Apply liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location withthe specified dimensions.● If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply liq-
uid gasket to the groove.
● As for the bolt holes, normally apply liquid gasket inside theholes. Occasionally, it should be applied outside the holes.Make sure to read the text of service manual.
● Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-ing component.
● If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.● Do not retighten after the installation.● After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill
engine oil and engine coolant.CAUTION:If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe them.

a. Remove three water pump mounting bolts. Secure a gapbetween water pump gear and timing chain, by turning crank-shaft pulley counterclockwise until timing chain looseness onwater pump sprocket becomes maximum.
b. Screw M8 bolts [pitch: 1.25 mm (0.049 in) length: approx. 50mm (1.97 in)] into water pumps upper and lower mounting boltholes until they reach timing chain case. Then, alternatelytighten each bolt for a half turn, and pull out water pump.CAUTION:● Pull straight out while preventing vane from contacting
socket in installation area.● Remove water pump without causing sprocket to contact
timing chain.c. Remove M8 bolts and O-rings from water pump.
CAUTION:Do not disassemble water pump.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL● Check for badly rusted or corroded water pump body assembly.● Check for rough operation due to excessive end play.● If anything is found, replace water pump.
INSTALLATION1. Install new O-rings to water pump.
● Apply engine oil and engine coolant to O-rings as shown inthe figure.
● Locate O-ring with white paint mark to engine front side.

2. Install water pump.CAUTION:Do not allow cylinder block to nip O-rings when installingwater pump.● Check that timing chain and water pump sprocket are
engaged.● Insert water pump by tightening mounting bolts alternately
and evenly.
3. Install timing chain tensioner (primary) as follows:a. Turn crankshaft pulley clockwise so that timing chain on the tim-
ing chain tensioner (primary) side is loose.
b. Pull plunger stopper tab up (or turn lever downward) so as toremove plunger stopper tab from the ratchet of plunger.NOTE:Plunger stopper tab and lever are synchronized.
c. Push plunger into the inside of tensioner body.d. Hold plunger in the fully compressed position by engaging
plunger stopper tab with the tip of ratchet.e. To secure lever, insert stopper pin through hole of lever into ten-
sioner body hole.● The lever parts and the tab are synchronized. Therefore, the
plunger will be secured under this condition.NOTE:Figure shows the example of 1.2 mm (0.047 in) diameter thin screwdriver being used as the stopper pin.
f. Install timing chain tensioner (primary).● Remove dust and foreign material completely from backside of timing chain tensioner (primary) and
from installation area of rear timing chain case.
g. Remove stopper pin.
h. Make sure again that timing chain and water pump sprocket are engaged.4. Install chain tensioner cover and water pump cover as follows:

a. Before installing, remove all traces of old liquid gasket from mat-ing surface of water pump cover and chain tensioner coverusing scraper. Also remove traces of old liquid gasket from themating surface of front timing chain case.
b. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket with the tube presser[SST: WS39930000 ( — )] to mating surface of chain ten-sioner cover and water pump cover.Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer toGI-47, "RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCTS ANDSEALANTS" .CAUTION:Attaching should be done within 5 minutes after coating.
c. Tighten mounting bolts.
5. Install water drain plug (front) on water pump side of cylinder block.● Apply liquid gasket to the thread of water drain plug (front).
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-47, "RECOMMENDED CHEMICALPRODUCTS AND SEALANTS" .
6. Install in the reverse order of removal after this step.● After starting engine, let idle for three minutes, then rev engine up to 3,000 rpm under no load to
purge air from the high-pressure chamber of chain tensioner. Engine may produce a rattlingnoise. This indicates that air still remains in the chamber and is not a matter of concern.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION● Check for leaks of engine coolant using the radiator cap tester adapter [SST: EG17650301 (J33984-A)]
and the radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-9, "LEAK CHECK" .● Start and warm up the engine. Visually make sure that there is no leaks of engine coolant.
